Gerrit Reininghaus leitet eine Session für Christopher G., Eike K., Sabine V., und Tina T.
Inferno - Morgon turned into a sun in the devastating events at Andalkan. We mourn for him but, as his will was, without (wet) tears. Rukus shot a dragon with a ballista to confront his nemesis but defied the final battle for the greater good and the life of his love, Boronhilf. Boronhilf stopped the Krakoniers' Priestess dreams with green, cold fire. While the never sleeping Lucaria black holed The Invincible Flesh Spider and then escaped, riding on the back of a sea snake, supposed to be her child.

Sabine V. runs for Agatha, Alun R., Leandro Pondoc, and Scot Ryder
The final and ultimate installment of Good Society: Sense, Sensibility & Swordsmanship ended quite prettily: Lady Justine went to America to be with her true love, Freddy; her mother, the vicious Lady Sibyl was found to be a conspirator and a murderess (the Big Bad revealed!); Hugh Botham was happily married to Lord Cedric; and Annabel Hargreaves was arrested, but ultimately got offered a job with the newly created Ministry of Justice. Lots of desires were fulfilled, albeit not in the sense they had originally been meant to be.

Mutants in the Night: Unity (Session 4 of 4)
Ludovico Alves runs for Michael G. Barford, Tom F., and Walter German
We follow Grey, Thorn and Jack for the conclusion of this campaign. The Mutant Safe Zone of Unity Heights is under martial law, but that does little to quench the burning spirit of its inhabitants. With resources they been denied for almost a decade, they come together and establish between each others. Through cunning and cutthroat maneuvering, the turn the tables: at the end of this campaign there is a New Unity. It is time now for the rich and their lapdogs to hide behind walls in fear.

Kohi, V, and Aleph get to their collection job, leading them a strange, abandoned district. 2-Bit is probed and unmoved until they run into a friend. That friend, Kristoph, is caught up in something far more insidious than he could have ever realized.

Once Again, We Return (Monsterhearts): Wannabe, Adored (Session 3 of 3)
Barry runs for Alexi S., Chris Thompson, Peter Mazzeo, and Ryan M.
Tiamat and Fenris display their monstrous appetites as Fenris warms up for Ragnarok with Mercury while Tiamat calls forth the monstrousness of a fan. Through a great fall, then through Eos, Anansi discovers the end of all stories before Eos skips to the next chapter and we're all left wanting more. Cut the strings.

Achtung! Cthulhu Dark: The Angel of Krupna (Session 4 of 4)
Alun R. runs for Eduardo L., Sabine V., Walter German, and William
The series climaxes with the stealthy infiltration of the Castle Karlstein and a confrontation with the final, bestial, horror that cost one character his life (the self-sacrificing Brit), and another his sanity (the over-curious Czech professor with a new taste for human flesh...). Meanwhile our clever young Czech hero earned his spurs and, inevitably, the incredibly handsome American diplomat got away with most of the essential intelligence. Great to GM this series (my first 4 session series for the Gauntlet), and the hack is a lot more solid now than it was. Thanks, all.

Trophy: Shifting Sands
Jason Cordova runs for Tyler Lominack and Walter German
We are playing an incursion by Luiz Ferraz.

Dark Streets & Darker Secrets: Beneath the Canals (Session 4 of 4)
